HSS Hire, a supplier of tools, equipment and outsourcing services, has opened a new regional distribution centre in Bristol.
The 30,000 sq ft purpose-built facility will become an important regional distribution hub for the group’s activities in the South West and Wales – enabling the firm to provide more accessible hire services and support, including specialist training.
The centre features huge storage facilities on two levels, as well as ‘state of the art’ training facilities, according to the company. The investment, adds HSS Hire, continues its network transformation from small high-street branches to large industrial ‘supercentres’, and reaffirms its position as a logistical and technical partner to trade and business.
The existing local HSS Hire branch in Bristol will be closed, with existing members of staff transferring to the new site. A further 30 jobs will also be created as the company invests in the region.
The company’s chief executive, Chris Davies, commented: “At HSS, we’re committed to offering our customers more safety, availability, value and support, and, as part of this commitment, we’ve made some significant investments in our logistical and operational platforms over the past year that have enabled the transformation of our entire national network.
“The new facility in Bristol will enable us to deliver a bigger and better service to our customers across the South West and Wales, as well as supporting our wider UK activity.”
